Let’s face it. The real reason most of us are against motion controls is because we don’t like the idea of exercising. I mean, exercising has never really been all that fun. Believe me, or better yet, believe the thick layer of dust on my DDR pads. But the idea of actually have fun in a workout is exciting. Heck, I bought a Kinect for Dance Central and Michael Jackson: The Experience. And I’ll buy BAIT if it ever gets made.

BAIT is an audio-based running game app that uses built-in smartphone sensors and GPS to track your work-out. Instead of using the usual fitness tracking approach for the app, the player has the role of an agent in a counter-monster attack organization called BAIT. The radioactive monsters you fight attack from randomly appearing wormholes, and have to be killed with a neutralizer that is charged by running. If the monsters get too close the player loses points, points needed to complete each level. Levels are designed based on interval training, the alien creatures appear at certain predetermined times to vary intensity. The points earned in the game are used as credit in a weapon shop that offers shields and different kinds of “neutralizers”.
